Intricate patterns

"I find being optimistic no matter what the cercumstances helps. Plus Jeb encouraged me to keep going with it because it made others happy, which makes me happy." I smiled. "What did you do?" I asked.

"I worked at a university as a professor in history. I only had the job because I know so many stories about the different worlds but it brang me happiness when I told them." I answered.

"Cool. Your gonna have to tell me a story sometime. I loved to here them!" I said, excitedly as we finished the dark tunnels and came into the light.

"Okay" I said as we entered the light. At first it was a shock because I hadn't seen anything so bright in ages. But my eyes adjusted and I could see lots of people coming from one area. Obviously just coming out from the meeting.

"CRAP!" I said, I didn't want to get into this much trouble with everyone. I grabbed her hand and pulled her back into the dark tunnels. "Sorry, I don't know what they'd do if they saw you out."

"Well they would probably think I've brainwashed you or something like that." I explained.

"I'm so sorry, I just don't want them to hurt you. Come on let's get back. We'll do this some other time." I said, pulling her back with her.

"It's okay" I said moving back with her but we must have been too late because I could hear foot steps running- running?! that cant be good- towards us.

I ran even faster when I heard the fast footsteps, I pulled Wanderer infront of me so she'd get there faster. Thats when I tripped up and fell down on a sharp, jagged peice of rock. Great! I thought, just as the bruise was starting to fade. I got up anyway and managed to make it back onto the mat before collapsing. Tami had gone, which was good.

"What happened? Are you okay?" I asked hovering around where she had fell and hurt herself. I could hear the footsteps coming closer but I needed to make sure Snowie was alright.

"I'm fine... atually I can't feel it." I giggled, then turned to see who was coming.

"You're bleeding" I said pointing to the bloody womb on her leg. That was when Jared burst into the opening. Anger struck all over his face.

Crap! I thought, it had to be Jared, it couldn't just be Jeb or Becca or Jamie or someone who wouldn't behave like an angry child. "Jared, Go away!" I said, angrily. I still couldn't feel the pain, though I could see the blood.

"What was it doing out and what is it still doing out?" He said through clenched teeth which made me shy away, wish i was invisible and back away slowly.

"She isn't some animal, She has rights. I mean you treat her worse then an arachnophobic treats a spider." I growled.

"Thats because it is a murderer" He countered making me move further and further away.

"She hasn't murdered anyone!" I defended her.

"It Murdered Melanie!" He yelled. You could see the pain it caused him to say her name outloud.

"She didn't!" I argued. "But hurting her, reduces the chances of you getting Melanie back!" I countered.

"How can we have Melanie back! Shes gone! her memory has been erased!" He said.

"There might be a way! Jared anyway What good does it bring hurting her?" I asked, trying to calm him down. "You need to calm down and realize she's no threat to us!"

"You're wrong, thats what it wants us to think, she'll probably have seekers out there waiting to come get us!" He said.

"Jared, Seriously, Before, I, Lose, My, Tempah, Get, Out!" I growled, taking a deep breath after every word trying to calm myself down but failing.

"No. it belongs to me, well Melanie's body does!" He yelled.

"Jared...." I barked, getting even angrier. "Don't try my patience"
